Two points Sadistic. 1) you had a 2 piece advantage not 3 remeber your marshal and my gen were trapped in corner 2) tell me how a person can orchestrate an attack when he's down 2 pieces except for doing what i did which i described in my post? I t cant be done. Finally you say you hate draws as i do also (look how many i have) but anyone who doesn't accept one when they cant win is foolish.

Oh and as far as the rematch thing goes.. I have played several people twice in a row gpet0 and i usually play 3. If i have time i will, but i have 2 kids and a wife who already nags me that i play too much. That is all it is, it has nothing to do with fear of losing, I've lost plenty and will lose plenty more and i know i will never achieve very much higher of a rank because of my number of games played and the frequency of my games.

Hey Alex,

Not trying to start anything with you.....but it would seem to be a very skillful win when one can be down several pieces and still come out on top.

I personally do not fear a player who can win with a multipiece advantage.....the players I fear are the ones who can win with a multipiece disadvantage.

I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from here without the need for any further insults or attacks on anybody. Because I'd say the same thing if this issue was reversed with you pulling off the win against a multipiece advantage by Apollo.

Good point Rocky, but it was game in which it came down to Sadistic not having enough lower ranked pieces and the fact that in Stratego, as any decent player knows, you CAN NOT defend all 3 alleys with only 2 pieces. I admit to attacking the 3 pieces blindly, but wouldn't anyone here have done the same thing? I know it's frustrating to have someone "lotto" against you, it's happened to me MANY times and I've even had people apologize for doing it, which I in turn told them no problem it's part of the game and I always tell them good game afterwards.The only real issue here is Sadistic's behavior during and after the game which, in my opinion, was uncalled for. Enough said
